Edsholms Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Grums, Sweden.

The stone ruins of Edsholms Castle stand on elevated ground near Slottsbrosundet, overlooking the waterways that lead to Lake Värmeln.

Built in the 1370s by Marshal Erik Kettilsson Puke, the castle served as a stronghold for royal bailiffs until its destruction during the Engelbrekt Rebellion in 1434.

Archaeological investigations in 1991-1992 revealed numerous artifacts that document daily life and social structures within medieval Swedish fortifications.

Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked paths in Grums Municipality, with informational panels explaining the site's historical features.

The castle ruins represent one of only three medieval fortifications in Värmland province, alongside Saxholm and Amneholm.
